Fred has been deported.

So why oh why didn't he sort out his immigration status ?

He actually did better than most to last for 12 years on student visas

Very few facts to establish why he was not given Brit Cit given his mother is a British national and he was a hard working tax payer for 13 years that obviously integrated very well in Maidstone..
Sounds like an easy,soft target for the UKBA that need to hit their deportation targets to me.
Why don't they say,"Rules are rules" and then immediately start deporting the "legal" and illegal immigrant criminals choking UK prisons? I suppose it is better to rehabilitate them and reintroduce them back into British society then to choose scumbags like Filipino Fred..

No idea why Fred had no right of appeal either..

I`ll ask him when I see him!

(I`ll give him a job as a barman if he`s interested)

I dont know Graham!!
I reckon I should give these kind of topics a wide birth as they make my blood boil!
The UK slippery slope is too well lubricated now and on a 45 degree angle.
The lunatics rule the asylum.

he was a hard working tax payer for 13 years

he was on a student visa, and for the last few years and he would have only been able to work for up to 20hrs a week,

now if he was not Filipino, I'm sure most people on here would be saying he was playing the system, and he should be deported.

there rules apply to everyone and that includes Filipinos.

i would have thought she became a British citizen after living in the UK for at least 3yrs, he probably couldn't be registered as British because because he would have been over 18, and he would have had to come to the UK on his own merits, ie student visa which is not a settlement visa.
